Patient's question:
Mother felt that her body was particularly uncomfortable, so she called me to say she had some feelings of palpitations. I quickly took her for an ECG test, and it seems to be confirmed as sinus arrhythmia. How should sinus arrhythmia be treated?Doctor's answer:
If sinus arrhythmia occurs multiple times and is accompanied by symptoms such as palpitations and chest tightness, medication is generally required for treatment. If there are other underlying conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, or coronary heart disease, antiplatelet drugs should also be used, along with medications to prevent plaque formation. Patients should have their electrocardiogram, blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipid levels monitored periodically. In terms of diet, it is essential to follow a low-sodium, low-fat diet.
